RE: building XFree86 from cvs

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Michael,

Oh, you are only missing about 30 pages that describe exactly how to build
XFree86 for Cygwin:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/cygwin-xfree-cg.html

Start with those.  It is unlikely that you will have problems.

Harold
